VINEYARDS
Our vineyards lie in Hebei’s Huailai County, located just 80 km from the bustling city of Beijing. This region enjoys a monsoon continental climate with an average annual rainfall of 400mm, offering the ideal conditions for growing grapes. The nearby Guanting Reservoir helps to regulate humidity and temperature—a buffer against extreme weather and diseases. The combination of suitable climate, optimal exposure to sunlight, and significant temperature differences between day and night allow grapes to ripe to perfection, translating into fresh and fruity wines with flavorful notes.

The vineyards of Canaan Winery, spread across three parcels, sit on the north and south sides of the Guanting Reservoir in Huailai county. Elevations range from 498 m to 1,050 m, providing a varied range of soil types, slope orientations, and micro-climates that allow us to cultivate diverse grape varieties. With the combination of expert vineyard practices, our wine truly exemplifies the essence of this unique terroir.
NURSERY
At our nursery, we cultivate multiple grape cultivars and clones using an integrated grafting method. This process involves grafting, callusing, and nurturing the seedlings to ensure their purity and health.
SOIL TEST AND GROW TUBE
Using scientific transplantation, we carefully select the grape varieties, sites, and management practices for each block to optimize growing. The use of grow tubes helps the newly planted seedlings acclimate to the unique micro-climate of the vineyard.
SMART AGRICULTURE
- Weather stations installed to measure atmospheric and soil conditions in real-time
- Drip irrigation system to efficiently deliver water and nutrients to the vines
SUSTAINABLE VINEYARD
We are dedicated to preserving the environment and promoting ecological balance. Our vineyards are sustainably farmed with the use of cover crops and the incorporation of mulched vine shoots and fermented pomaces back into the soil.
